Yuya sounds a little bit like a depressed fuck if that helps, from his character bio. Something about him always smiling and wanting to use dueling to entertain an audience to make up for 'harsh realities of life'.

Looking at ANN, the arc v series composer is also one of the 2 series composers for 2011 Hunter x Hunter. Man, I'm really hoping this show starts out as strong as 5D's did, fortune cup was a high point of the anime franchise.

Kind of. The ygo org website has an explanation, but it's still a little vague and without many specifics. It uses a new type of pendulum monster that can be treated as a continuous spell card or as a regular monster card.

I like what I've read so far about this show.>Finally got another series composer rather than just Yoshida again>5D's director>duels are again a higher energy spectator sport like in 5D's>action duels and solid holograms>the show has an excuse to place duels in stadiums with a fully interactive environment without leaping as far as the D-wheel concept>rituals, synchros and fusions will be used instead of just xyz monsters all the fucking time>MC has a different goal in wanting to be a top entertainer than the usual "#1 duelist">Female MC already knows how to duel

I hope the animation gets a little boost, too. 5D's had lower lows when it came to that, but also higher highs. In Zexal you can tell that even their most skilled animation director doesn't get to spend nearly as much time on a zexal episode compared to a 5D's ep.

>Akaba Reiji is the CEO of Leo Corporation. This company has developed something called "Solid Vision with Mass", and with its spread around Maiami City, "Action Duel" was born, and is widely popular all around the world.

>The children adore Pro Duelists like stars, and they learn the many ways of Dueling and Summoning in different cram schools like "Yuushuujuku" which the main character Sakaki Yuya attends, or "Leo Duel School", the most influential one around.

>One day out of nowhere, Yuya got himself into an Exhibition Duel with the current Pro Dueliest Champion...?

So the duels don't drag out for too long. That was the reason for 4000 LP in the beginning, games used to be a lot slower irl than they are right now with xyzs and synchros. I'm guessing they're just going to keep going with that since it's how they've written them for so long.
